Ugh. That always annoyed me. It's like, because she doesn't look girlier and pretty like Daphne, then she's a lesbian?

That's so insulting, really. Just because some woman is nerdy and a little less feminine than other women, doesn't mean that she's a lesbian for fuck's sake.

Exactly. Such cases insult me as a kind of a nerdy woman.

There’s also the whole thing with the queers hijacking cartoons for representation.

At some point society started to rebel against the harmful stereotypes of men and women in media because barely anyone actually looks like the "idealized" version of what they were showing. Now we've moved to a different version where the unrealistic stereotypes are "good" and if you don't conform to that exact stereotype then you must be trans or "LGBTQ+".

Yeah it's the same shit from the 90's all over again. You aren't the Hollywood ideal of sexy? Gay! You like stuff that isn't stereotypical of your sex? Gay!

Very regressive bullshit.

This is pretty much why they now claim she is lesbian. This is the opposite of lesbian acceptance, this is stereotyping them negatively.

It's because she has her sleeves rolled up all the time, that's a tell.

I mean, I've seen many posts shipping her specifically with Daphne, so I don't know if that's the reason.

Don't be short
